Location (Not Relevant: Most projects and activities are occurring either at a headquarters location, or are managed by headquarters-based personnel thereby ensuring that location has little or no significant impact on process implementation and performance.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Each customer tends to have its own preferences relating to details such as progress report formats, information, and frequency, the customer does not have a significant influence on how processes are implemented or performed within the organizational unit.)
